The Attack on the Oil Trust.

The suit begun by the Attorney General
of Louisiana n day or two ago in the courts
Of that State against the American Cotton
Oil Trust Company, to prevent it from do
ing business in that State, is one in which
all the cotton States are deeply interested.
This company has become an enormous mo-
nopoly, and it has already done the cotton
planters an immense amount of damage
The MORNING News has called attention to
it several times, and warned the cotton
planters that the time was not distant when
they would be forced to sell their cotton seed
for almost nothing if they sold it at ALL
The object of the Oil Trust, since its or
ganization, has been to depress the price of
cotton seed and increase the price of its prod
ucts. 1t has been enabled to accomplish
its object by getting control of about all OF
the cotton seed oil mills. Having the mills,
and, hence, being the only market, it can
dictate the price of cotton seed Owning
all the products Of cotton seed it can fix its
own price for them.
The Attorney General of Louisiana saws
that during the two years that the Oil Trust
has beeu III existence the price of cotton
Sccu lStllSu II Clio W 90 per JOn
There has not been any markell Grease,
however, in the prices of cotton seed prod
ucts. What better evidence is there needed
OF the mon )polistic character of the Oil
Trust3 There are other grave charges
against the company. One is that it strives
to break down opposition mills by unfair
means, and another is that it pays no taxes
There are many other charges, all Of which
doubtless will be thoroughly ventilated in
the louisiana suit.
tits understood that an opposition cotton
seed oil company has lately been organized,
and that it win begin the erection of mills
during the present summer. This is good
news for the cotton planters. If the new
company does not combine with the Oil
Trust the price of cotton seed may advance
to somewhere near what it was a few years
ago. 1t need not be expected, however, that
the new company will make any sacrifices
for the benefit of planters. 1t win adopt a
policy that promises to bring it the largest
returns. IL it is to its advantage to combine
with the Oil Trust it will doubtless do so.
The planters will never be independent, so
far as their cotton seed is concerned, until
they encourage the building of cotton oil
mills in their respective counties. There
will then be competition, and cotton seed
will bring somewhere near its real value

A Giddy Girl,

From q Letter to the Providence Journal.
A very amusing instance of the false notion of
society movements that is given to diligent
cleaners of newspaper columns occurred Just
the other day in New York.
What a tremendous success that little Miss
Plantagenet has achieved this winter" said a
New Yorker just returned from a round of visits
in various quarters of the globe to fair friend
who had been all the season ON the scene of &C
ton. Il have never taken up a paper without
seeing her name among the prominent guests
and as a reigning belle at half dozen teas. din
ners and balls. She is such slight, fragile
creature that she must be very glad to welcome
the Lenten lull'
The stay home laughed. another result
of newSInongers' stupidity" she said. Don't
you remember that Polly Plantagenet had a
fever this fall and was obliged to have her hair
cut short? Well after a little it fell out so
dreadfully that she quite bald and sight

time, in spite of the hairdressers cautions to the
contrary. And -"
What happened!" asked madame, the wan
1erer, breathlessly.
why, at last she began to have such terrible
pains and aches in her head that she couldn't
keep the wig on at ALL and had to be sent away
to her uncle's plantation in the South, where she
has been for two months or more waiting pa
tiently for her hair to grow, and render her once
more preSentable to the eyes of mankind. l be-
lieve she is just come back again. but she Ger
tainly has had a miserable winter of it, and
spent most of her time in suffering seclusion,

tale was told of debutante, who has been

PRESAGES OF DEATH.
How the white Lady" Warned Maria
Theresa of Her End

The Viscomte d'Arlincourt tells us that he
visited the Archduchess Maria Louise, the widow
Of Napoleon, and from her lips heard that the
White Lady never fails to appear in the I'M
perial Palace of Vienna before the death Of one
of the house of Austria. She told him:
My grandmother was Queen of the Sicilles,
and after the death of my fathers first wife,
Elizabeth, he asked for the hand of her daugh-
ter, Maria Theresa, daughter of Ferdinand l, OF
Sicily. My grandmother, anxious about her
daughters welfare, consulted pious nun, to
whom it was allowed at times to see through the
veil of the future. Her answer was as follows
Your daughter will be happy, but after her
thirty fifth year God will call her to himself"
This was clear enough The new Empress as
cended the throne (she was crowned in 1870, at
the age of 49, in the expectation of having
short but happy life. She often spoke to her
young children aboX it, but never complained
that the time was short.
The nearer the ominouS term drew the more
did the Empress endeavor to Danish the thought
of it from her mind. She ceased to speak of it.
In the year that preceded her death heavy
sickness brought her into great peril BE at
ease, her majesty said to those who surrounded
her; my hour is not yet come. If heaven calls
me. it will be next year.
Her 18th year arrived. One day my sister the
late Empress of Brazil, exclaimed in terror to
her mother
Behind your elbow chair see| see"
What child2 Speak.''
THE White Lady"
'She has not come for you, my dear" an
swered the Empress calmly, but for me! My
hour has now come
Next day she was dead, Aug. 10, 1907.

Discussing Mr. Randall.

Several Democratic members of Congress
have been asked lately whether they thought
Mr.. Carlisle, in the event of his reelection
as Speaker, would reappoint Mr. Randall
chairman Of the Appropriations Committee.
They said, of course, that they did not
know They had heard great deal of talk
about the matter, but it would be in
delicate to approach Mr.. Carlisle with re-
gard to it, or for Mr.. Carlisle to express an
opinion.
Several of those interviewed thought that
Mr.. Randall vAas to blame for the failure of
the deficiency appropriation bill to pass, and,
also for the backwardness of all the appro-
priation bills, except that of the river and
harbor, last session. There is, no doubt,
great deal of dissatisfaction with Mr.. Randall,
but it is not by any means certain that it
will show itself SO strongly as to prevent his
reappOintnent to, the Craftsmanship of the
Appropriations Committee There will be
a great deal Of talking, but, as one member
expresses it, everybody will be 50 interested
in looking after his own interests when Con-
gress meets that few, if any, viii bother
themselves about Mr.. Randall There is
another thing that is in Mr.. Randalls favor.
1t is the indisposition to create discord in
the party during the year preceding the
Presidential election.
The question arises, however, whether it
wouldn't be better to remove, to as great an
extent as possible, the cause that prevents
the party from acting tremendously with
respect to great public questionsA - Mr.. Ran
dali is VIGOROUSLY out of joint with his
party on the tariff and the pension questions.
While he is retained in an influential po-
sitiOn, and is able on that account to secure
a small following, he may prevent the Demo-
cratic party from carrying out the reforms
it has pledged itself to accomplish. 1t would
be wise thing for the Democratic leaders
to have little talk before Congress meets
relative to the best course to pursue with re
gard TO Mr. Randall

THE DEACON'S LIVER.
A CHASTITY Story of a Railroad Acct
dent and Grim Mans Message.

A CHASTITY Story of Railroad Acct
dent and a Grim Mans Message.
In a rural town not fifty miles from the State
house lived Deacon Slocum, plodding farmer
of old-fashioned ways, and near neighbor of
Maj. Armstrong who farmed it on q large scale,
AS "pig-killing time" approached Deacon SlO-
cum bargained with the Major for the liver of
one pig which he was to send over after the
killing. a transaction which the deacon forgot
to mention to his wife, says the Boston Budget.
The next day. having some business to transact
in the city he started away, intending to re-
turn at night, but on arriving there he ascer-
tanned that the party he was to see was away
and would not return until the next day, so he
concluded TO wait rather than make q second
journey.
On the very day that he left for the city an
accident occurred on the railroad, and several
persons were reported as horribly mangled and
killed. Among the missing was Deacon Slocum.
The family was dreadfully alarmed. and passed
the night in a fearful state of anxiety. Just
looking man, bearing a tin pail in his hand,
came to the door, which, on being opened, he
deposited on the entry floor, exclaiming:
I've brought you the deaconS liver!"
The good woman of the house tainted, the
children screamed, and for few moments that
house was in a connection which was only
quoted by the appearance of the deacon him
self, who, on hearing of the accident, had taken
an early train for home. 1t was also pleasing
to learn that the accounts of the catastrophe
had been greatly exaggerated and that nobody
was killed and but two or three slightly in
iured

a Bogus Sceptre.
From GuliqIldnf,


A curious anecdote was told by NJ German
Bapst at the last lecture given in the hall of the
Union Centrale deS Arts DecoratifS, Place des
VoSges. In a review of the history of French
goldsmiths' work he dispelled one of the illI-
sions which have been handed down to us for
generations. Many of our readers are aware
that in the Galerie d'Apollon, at the Louvre, is
an article known as Charlemagne's sceptre
This, according to NJ. Bapst is simply a pre-
centors wand. On the occasion of his corona
ton, Napoleon I. manifested wish to hold the
sceptre welded by the ancient Emperor of the
West Orders were given that the red velvet
which covered the baton should he changed
Judge of the surprise of the jeweler to whom
this work was intrusted when he discovered on
the face of the metal laid bare the following in.
scripton: This baton belongs to me, x
precentor at Notre Dame, 1880"
He Immediately communicated with Ducroc
Grand Marshal of the Palace. We must inform
his majesty of the fact" said the bewildered
tradesman BE sure that you don't" replied
Ducroc. Cover up the baton with velvet as
quickly as possible, and say nothing about it to
anybody. 1t is absolutely necessary that the
Emperor should die with the conviction that he
held the sceptre of Charlemagne whilst being
crowned" NJ. Bapst holds that the numerous
swords and crowns with which the name of
Charlemagne is associated are no more genuine
than this famous sceptre or baton. But who
we may ask, was "X?"

IN an interview published in the Cincin-
natl Enquirer a few days ago Mr.. George
| William Curtis, the leader of the Mugwumps,
made two statements which are exciting
considerable comment among the politicians
| One was that the next Presidential election
would be settled by the vote cast within a
! radius of twenty miles from the centre of
New York city, and the other was that if
Mr. Cleveland were renominated he would
probably be defeated by the dissatisfied poll
ticians of his party unless there was great
change in the existing condition of affairs.
Mr. Curtis has never had much of a repu-
tation as political prophet and there is no
reason, therefore, why much Importance
should be attached to his views respecting
the next Presidential contest, or Mr. Cleve-
lands prospects for election if he is candi-
date. If it were not supposed that he ex-
presses the sentiments of the Mugwunps it
is probable that an interview with him on
politics would hardly be noticed.
But he is not alone in the opinion that the
vote of New York city, and of the cities and
towns in the immediate vicinity, win de-
eide the next political contest That opin-
ion has been expressed quite frequently late
~, but chiefly by those who are either open
~ or secretly hostile to Mr.. Cleveland.
Some doubtless are sincere, while others,
and they are the majority, have an object in
view. They aim to impress the country
with the belief that Mr.. Cleveland cannot
be reelected in order to defeat his renomina-
ton
There is a great deal of dissatisfaction
with Mr.. Cleveland in New York city. The
corrupt political cliques there don't like
him. He hasn't done..what they wanted him
to do. He has refused to permit himself to
be made tool of by them, and they pretend
that they are ready to defeattheir party in
order to beat him. The question which
presents itself therefore, is this: Has not
Mr. Cleveland strengthened himself suili-
GENTLY with the honest, order-loving, law
abiding citizens of New York to overcome
the influence of the corrupt politicians. We
believe he has. We believe that the bust
ness men of the city favor him because he
is a safe and conservative executive, and
the Independent voters favor him because he
has shown himself to be a sincere friend Of
honest and economical government.
1t is said that the corrupt Democratic fac
tions in New York city cannot be ontrolled
in Mr.. Clevelands interest. Perhaps they
cannot; but what have they TO hope for
from the election of a Republican President!
Nothing; and when they see how strong Mr..
Cleveland is with those who want honest
government and how futile their opposition
is the chances are they viii fail into line and
vote the straight Democratic ticket. They
viii make harder fight against Mr. Cleve-
lands denomination than against his re-elec-
ton
